What happened? Why does my AC need repair?

Even if you keep your air conditioner correctly maintained, at some point it’s going to require repair services. Air conditioners are working machines, with parts that wear and tear over time.

Think about when a car breaks down and requires service. There’s a whole host of things that could have gone wrong. Some are more common and could be a simple fix, while others, maybe more complex and potentially costly. But, you won’t know for sure until you have a qualified expert on the case.

The same is true with AC repair. Your air conditioner could be broken due to leaks, inadequate lubrication, age, dust, electrical issues, wear and tear, or even faulty installation. One of our trained and certified technicians can visit your home and evaluate your system. Then, we can give you a straight answer on what’s needed to get your air conditioner up and running.

How soon can you get here?

No matter what time of day you discover your cooling system is broken, you can call us. Seriously! Whether it’s 3 am or early Sunday morning, our team is hard at work keeping LA comfortable. Call us anytime – really! – at (310) 810-2721, and we will dispatch a technician to your home.

Rest assured that you will get the same level of service anytime you call. We know how stressful it is not to have the air conditioner working. No matter when we visit your home, you can still expect us to arrive with collared shirts and covered shoes. We make every effort to fix your AC in one visit. That’s why we keep our service trucks fully stocked. No matter what the problem is with your AC, we’ll be able to solve it.

Common Air Conditioner Repairs

As the heat is rising in your home, you might be wondering: how bad is it? Here are some of the more common problems we see in LA:

  • Refrigerant Leaks
  • Drainage Problems
  • Broken Condenser Fan
  • Compressor Issues

Refrigerant Leak

Your air conditioner uses a chemical refrigerant in order to cool air in your house. The refrigerant is contained in pipes that connect indoor and outdoor equipment. A leak somewhere in the system can cause the air conditioner not to cool as effectively. The best solution is to find the leak, seal it, and then add refrigerant back to proper levels.

Drainage Problems

Have you ever noticed the condensation that forms on the outside of a cold water glass? Air conditioning coils get very cold and also produce condensate. Air conditioners are designed with drain pans and piping to help the condensate flow away. But if there’s a clog somewhere in your system, it can cause all sorts of problems. For example, you might experience very high humidity levels, or, if your drain pan is full, your AC may not turn on at all.
Identifying the air conditioning repair needed

Broken Condenser Fan

the big metal box outside your home is called the condensing unit. The condensing unit houses a compressor, coils, and one or more fans. All of these components are integral to the operation of your air conditioner. Specifically, the outdoor fan helps cool the refrigerant and push hot air away from the unit. If it’s not operating, your system will struggle to perform. The root of the problem could be any number of things, from a motor problem to bent blades.

Compressor Issues

Perhaps the most feared by homeowners, a compressor problem is one of the most complex repairs. The compressor is the most critical part of your air conditioner. Without it, nothing else in the system works properly. It is a sophisticated device, so if there is an issue with your compressor, there are many potential causes. Compressors are also the most expensive component of any air conditioning system. So if you’re facing a compressor replacement, you might consider replacing the air conditioner instead.

Frequently Asked Questions


What Air Conditioner Brands Does Brody Pennell Service?
Though we are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer (CFAD), our team or highly trained technicians can repair and service any brand of air conditioner. Repairing your air conditioner requires a proper diagnosis from an expert. Contact us today if you have more questions about our AC repair service.
What Is The Most Common AC Problem?
In Los Angeles, there are a few air conditioner repairs we see often. The most common AC problems we fix are typically caused by faulty thermostats, bad condensor fans, broken compressors, and coils needing to be cleaned. Many of these issues can be prevented with routine maintenance.
How Much Does AC Repair Cost?
Though the cost of your air conditioner repair can vary based on the severity of the issue, the typical range for AC repair is between $150 – $700. If your AC system is fairly new, it may make sense to seek repair options first. However, if your system is 10 years or older, it might be time to consider replacement. As many of these issues continue to occur as your system gets older.
How Long Will It Take To Fix My Air Conditioner?
Again, this can vary case-by-case depending on what is wrong with your system. However, our service technicians typically can get air conditioners fixed and running again within two to six hours, at the most.
Do I Need To Be Home For My Service Visit?
We typically prefer for our customers to be home when we conduct service visits, in order to ensure effective communication & service. However, if you have an assistant or personal assistant that takes care of your home, they can be present as needed.

We had the pleasure of having Brody Pennell Technician, David Mares, perform our annual Comfort Club heater inspection. David’s review found carbon monoxide levels at the heating units and vent locations. He called his field supervisor, Kyle Rudolf, and requested his presence to further assess our system. Kyle performed a thorough inspection of the heater interiors with a digital borescope and captured images of locations that showed where leakage was occurring. He recommended replacing our system due to its age and explained our options. Both David’s and Kyle’s thorough information, explanations and politeness made our choice of replacing our system an easy one.

The crew of Frank Trejo, Jesus Farias and Edwin Cabra performed our installation. They were extremely diligent about keeping our residence clean and placed protection tarps
along the entire flooring leading to the attic installation entrance. The installation is outstanding and immaculate. Also, the operation of the system was explained at the end of the job. All the crew were extremely polite, and their work was outstanding.

It was a pleasure to have Brody Pennell perform our installation with their great crew. We feel fortunate having such an outstanding company taking care of our HVAC system.

Anthony Manzo Daniel B completed an exemplary job. They arrive a little early, walked through the process and I brought them to the roof. They were very respectful of our home with appropriate covers to the floor and transit areas. The installation was spot on, the new is a little smaller and we discussed Brody Pennel minor touch. Given I painted the entire home, I thanked them and noted I complete the touch up. The new a/c is amazing - quiet, purifies the air, changes the room temperature in less than ten minutes and I suspect the energy use will be substantially less because of the attached information. Thank you for Anthony and Daniel. The best!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for acknowledging Anthony Manzo Daniel's great work!
They were polite, professional, and knowledgeable. They showed up on time and were easy to communicate with.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Haley, for your kind words; we're glad you found our team polite and knowledgeable, and we appreciate your feedback on our communication and punctuality.
The technician (Giovanny) was terrific— very knowledgeable about our problem and our complicated heating/AC system. He finished the job quickly and.the charge was reasonable. If we have problems again, this is the company I will call. They have interesting subscription plan that ensures regular maintenance and lower costs in case of trouble. We’re giving serious thought to sign signing up for that.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Art, for your kind words about Giovanny and our services; we're glad to hear he was able to resolve your heating/AC issue quickly and that you're considering our subscription plan for added peace of mind.
Good quick service
